kilowatts. it is the delivery of the kilowatts where pepco makes its money. that's the money that they didn't make while you were disconnected. that's the money they are trying to recoup. we just gotten word from the state public service commission. telling us that this could be less than 13 cents a customer. >> this is a nominal amount. it was the principle that got people so angriment how long did it take you to get this information from pepco and you also have something on that issue of missing linemen they have out there in power outages. >> just getting this information took us three days of asking. finding out the numbers, that has taken us two weeks. we have gotten word after asking them to respond about our linemen, pepco says it has 147 lineman and a roll of contractors. contrary to union claims, it had 162 permanent lineman 15 years ago. the union says it was more than

200. sorting out these numbers and figuring out how that would impact the recovery and restoration of this storm, we are taking a look at that and that's going to take us time. >> and public officials have come out and said we need to have these linemen here to help other jurisdictions when there are crisis to make sure we get that help back. >> a domino upon domino according to the critics. >> thank you. >> mike. >> thanks, sky 9 was over maryland early this morning. firefighters and police officers rescued more than a dozen people who were trapped inside their apartment building. more than 100 firefighters were called in to put out the fire on castle boulevard. armando trull joins us live from the scene now where dozens of residents need a new place to live. armando. >> they don't have a place to live, but they are working on it. behind me, cleanup operations in full swing. not only outside the most heavily damaged apartment, but inside as folks clean up the aftermath of a very stubborn

fire on friday the 13th. >> hours after this early morning three-alarm fire was apparently extinguished, firefighters had to rush back and do it all over again. and this goes to show you how treacherous these fires can be. the fire was under control and totally out and folks began going inside the building to retrieve, this happened. firefighters had to come back once more. cleanup crews and residents had been trying to salvage anything they could. >> i want to say anything i can get out of it, like paperwork and laptops. >> instead, they had to scramble to safety a second time. while firefighters try to douse the stubborn pockets of fire under the rubble. the original fire began at 7:30 this morning in this resident's apartment. >> dozens of people were trapped on their balconies and had to be rescued by firefighters, police officers, and even their neighbors.

>> one of the last people we got out, we didn't have her out of the balcony and the balcony was engulfed in flames. >> i have to be helped over the balcony because it was too much fire. and they help me and my dog. >> right now, the american red cross is helping about 80 people who were displaced. they tell me that the complex has found living accommodations within the same apartment complex for half of those people. the other half, some of them haven't gotten back because they left before the fire started. they believe they will be able to find more living accommodations here on the complex. the ones who are not will have to go to a red cross shelter. that shelter is already in place. that's the scene out here. i'm live, back to you. >> armando trull, thank you. anita. >> tonight, d.c. police are investigating one of their own after an officer made threatening comments towards the first lady. this officer working as a white

house motorcade escort has been reassigned as the investigation continues. now kristin fisher is live at police headquarters where the chief just addressed this issue. kristen, do we know more about the nature of these comments? >> we don't know too much because right now, we are hearing this could be anything from a serious threat to just a really inappropriate joke. we just don't know and neither does police chief, kathy lanier. just moments ago outside metropolitan police department's headquarters. and here's what we know at this point in time. this all started as an accusation that was made by a d.c. police officer who was accusing another police officer of making a threatening comment towards the first lady. now the accused officer is a 17 year veteran of the department. he had been working as a white house motorcade expert when this comment was made. now he is on desk duty as this investigation continues. now chief lanier cautioned this investigation is in its very

early stages. she says they are still in the process of getting statements from all the people who may have heard this comment. people who were on the scene that day. and as for whether that comment was a serious threat or an inappropriate joke, here's what chief lanier had to say. >> there's absolutely no place for jokes of a nature that could be per seefd as threatening to the president, the first lady, or anybody else. that's not funny and police officers get that. this is not something that you joke about. and when i talked earlier about this process, if it is determined the statement was made is not criminal threat in nature, it is still possible that in the administrative investigation, that the statement was extremely unprofessional and conduct unbecoming of a police officer. so you know, it's going to be one of those tracks. >> now the secret service is also investigating. they say quote, we are aware of the incident and we are taking

the a appropriate followup steps. what exactly those followup steps maybe, we don't know. we don't know, as i said, exactly what these comments were, how serious they were, but one thing is for sure. there's a lot of frustration inside the police department today, chief lanier says that all of the officers here, especially the officers assigned to motorcade duty and white house escorts, those are officers who take their job very seriously. they are very proud of the job that they do. and they are very concerned that if these threats were indeed real, it will reflect poorly on the department and the job that they do. back to you. >> kristin fisher, thank you. you can imagine their disappointment. mike. turning now to the scandal surrounding d.c. mayor, vincent gray, and 2010 campaign under federal investigation now. the mayor is trying to go on with official business despite having to answer questions about illegal campaign contributions. 9news confirmed the mayor knew about a shadow campaign back in january after meeting with jean clark harris, who is now since

related to this investigation. >> mayor gray traveled to ward 8 this afternoon, still avoiding reported questions. >> i have kept to my schedule and continue to keep to my schedule and i'm going to continue to do that. >> can you answer anymore questions? >> i have answered all the questions that i can answer at this time. >> in ward 8 in southeast, where it has been reported 80% of the voters elected him into office are talking. >> it's a sad day. the mayor should resign. >> did you vote for him? >> yes, i did. i voted for mayor gray. i think it was a mistake. >> give him a chance. >> two long time friends couldn't be more opposite on mayor gray. >> perhaps he didn't know anything about it. >> let's get real. >> i beg to differ, because the campaign was huge. it was huge. and behind the door, you don't know what's going on. >> now i talked with the u.s. attorney's office this afternoon. there are still coconspirators who haven't been indicted yet.

but the investigation is active and progressing. coming up at 6:00, we'll have more on the mayor's response to city council members calling for his resignation. mike. >> this is long from over, thanks, surae. police spent the morning passing out fliers as they track down a suspect in a recent sexual assault. a woman reported she was attacked by a man with a knife. she says this took place at green farm conservation. >> this attack did occur in an isolated area in 200 acres of parkland. 21-year-old victim reported to us that she was on foot sitting on a bench adjacent to a pond when she was attacked from behind. the suspect had a knife. he had a piece of cloth covering his face. >> if you have any information, please call montgomery county police. >> prince georges county executive, baker, helped demolish a home today. it's part of a plan aimed at

obama campaign steps up its attack on mitt romney's record in business.

the 2012 presidential race turns to the battleground state of virginia today. president obama made stops in virginia beach and hampton. tonight he is in roanoak. after years of republican

domination, the president won virginia four years ago and both he and his gop challenger, mitt romney, considered virginia a key swing state in the november presidential election. meanwhile, both campaigns are in the middle of romney's time of ceo. romney says he left the firm in 1999 to run the olympics. but new reports suggest paperwork listed him as in charge until 2002. now the romney camp is asking the president to apologize for that comment made by a staffer and fighting back against the president's claim that romney sent american jobs overseas. >> either mitt romney through his own words and his own signature was misrepresenting his position to the sec, which is a felony, or he was misrepresenting to the american people. >> obama outsourcing attacks. misleading, unfair, and untrue. >> if there's an outsourcer in chief, it's the president of

the united states. not the guy who is running to replace them. >> cbs news sat down with president and mrs. obama at the white house this week for a wide ranging interview and he asked the president about his attacks on romney's corporate record. >> when some people questioned why i would challenge his record, the point i made there in the past is, if you're ahead with large private equity firm or hedge fund, your job is to make money. it's not to create jobs. it's to create a successful business. it's to maximize terms for your investor. that's part of the american way. that's part of the system. that doesn't necessarily make you qualified to think about the economy as a whole because as president, my job, is to think about the workers. my job is to think about communities where jobs have been outsourced. and so it is not that he is

disqualified because what he has done, it's because if that's your main claim, he doesn't talk about the fact that he is governor of massachusetts for four years. >> or ran the olympics. >> i want us to make sure that we know what your theory is about how to grow the economy. and that is a question that i think most americans want to know as well. this is the nature of running for president. >> now the charlie rose interview with the president and will air in its entirety on cbs sunday morning right before face the nation. bob shaefer joins us live for a preview and he will have reaction from team romney as well. it seems like this is getting con contention early. >> you heard her saying that mitt romney has misled the securities and exchange commission or he has lied to the american people about when

he left. they claim that this is germane because they are saying that if he left in 1999, as he says he did, then he doesn't have to take responsibility for some of these companies that were put out of work. but stephanie, who you heard make that statement will be our guest on face the nation sunday, so we can ask her directly. we'll have kevin madden, who is one of the senior advisers on governor romney's campaign. he'll be here as well. but i got to tell you something. our jan crawford interviewed governor romney this afternoon and he is livid about all this. her interview will be coming up tonight on the cbs evening news. so that is the first thing you'll want to watch and i hope everybody will be around for face the nation on sunday. because we are certainly going to continue what is a hot and heavy conversation, quite frankly. >> and of course right here, we'll be there for both.

thanks a lot. catch face the nation sunday morning right here on channel 9. a little steamy. the heat is building. >> good news s the clouds kept temperatures down. we might hold in the 80s tomorrow. then it's off to the races, so to speak. let's take a live look outside. this is a live look outside our weather cam. it is brought to you by michael and son. temperatures, because of the clouds, pretty comfortable. 87 downtown. look at the dew point. that's what i want to emphasize. upper 50. that's fantastic. despite the clouds, dew points are still in the upper 50s, relative humidity only 37%. pressure 30.1 inches of mercury and winds southeasterly at 1. we'll look at live doppler 9,000. there are light showers as you head up 270. nothing heavy or nothing severe. light activity along the border. by and large, most of it is west of i-81. we're going to keep the chance of a shower or thunderstorm in tonight. most of the activity of any consequence is on the other side of the divide over toward
